	Whee! Is this the artistic equivalent of a cliffie? Y'all know we're dying to see what Shichiro looks like without his concealment amulet... hah! Can't wait for Inu's response! Much fun, and Shichiro's a hottie! Thanks for sharing! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	XD Yay! Thanks. ^^ Cliffies happen even more in comics because they're shorter installments. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

One point that baffled me a bit, though... but I think I know what you meant, since Shichiro is sort of doing a 'double-speak' thing (and making Inu nuts with the 'oji-chan'. Hee!).

It's when he describes Kagome as 'the miko from foreign lands'; even back in the Sengoku Jidai, she was obviously Japanese, so 'foreign lands' doesn't quite fit. He's looking right at her, not to mention Inu pointing the Tetsusaiga at his throat (loved that swipe about a 'disrespectful inu-hanyou running around Tokyo with his youki on full blast'), says he's up on his youkai history, so perhaps a better nod to his 'in-the-know' position might be 'the miko from a different time'?

Just a suggestion; use or discard as you choose!

I was thinking that not all legends get passed down correctly, or are understood by those seeing them from the outside. Shichiro would get his info from family history, legend, and excitable flea demons. I don't know if Myoga understands exactly where Kagome comes from, or if they get that she's from Japan's own future. I was thinking she dresses so differently that Sengoku people wouldn't connect her with themselves very much. She would have different speech patterns, too, even if they don't go into that in the original story. So I went with the perceived 'foreign, magical lands' theory for Kagome. At least in this fanstory.

Sesshoumaru, of course, would have figured it out since the 1950's or so, when the sailor suits became common, but he doesn't talk much. :)

So many options! I've just got to decide and go with one.

Thanks for thinking and enjoying and commenting! ^^

	yeah. when i first started this idea, i also emailed her and told her that NO WAY was i going to do a reincarnated rin.... then about a month later - when i realized i HAD to do it for the story to work, i emailed her on hands and knees. she's good that way! thanks! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I must remember to thank Feni for sending me here. So, is Shichiro Kagome and Inuyasha's grandson (or relative)? Or is he just being rude. I'm thinking dog demon here...on to the next one! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	purplerebecca 2007-02-01 01:39 am UTC (link)
	He's a relative. :] Next one'll be up by next week, it's being picked at atm. :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	IY: 'I don't trust jewellery.' Kagome: snicker blinks innocently I wonder why? XD Ooooh! Me like Shichiro! He purty! This whole thing just looks fantastic. I love your illustration style. Kagome looks so pretty! Is she a little older than in the manga? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	purplerebecca 2007-02-11 12:27 am UTC (link)
	she's 17. This takes place 3 years after the beginning of the manga, assuming that Takahashi is confining all the events of the manga to Kagome's 15th year. She's still officially in her last year of Jr High in the manga (as senseless as that may be :). (Reply to this)(Parent)
